The frequency, distribution, and histological characteristics of vertebral rim lesions have been studied at D11 and L4 in 117 post-mortem spines in subjects aged 13-96 years. Only one lesion was found in patients less than 30 years, but thereafter the frequency increased with age. At least one rim was affected in the majority of patients greater than or equal to 50 years. They were found more f...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to present the feasibility of reconstructing an inferior orbital rim and cheek defect with a pedicled osteomyocutaneous submental flap. METHOD A 77-year-old women with a right nasosinusal adenoid cystic carcinoma invading soft tissues and skin of the cheek, the inferior rim of the orbit, the hard palate, and the middle turbinate is presented. A right r...

Human resource management (HRM) accounts for almost one-third of the Organisational Management syllabus, so it is crucial that you familiarise yourself with the subject, which covers the key activities concerning the management of people. These include human resource planning, recruitment and selection, training and development, reward and motivation, career and succession planning, induction, ...

We present a case of a 59-y-old woman who had undergone cholecystectomy and was subsequently found to have an abscess within the gallbladder fossa. A hepatobiliary scan using (99m)Tc-diisopropyliminodiacetic acid demonstrated the characteristic rim sign, a photopenic defect surrounded by a rim of mildly increased activity immediately adjacent to the gallbladder fossa. The rim sign was thought t...

BACKGROUND In patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), acetabular rim trimming removes the offending area of the acetabular deformity in patients with pincer-type and mixed-type FAI to improve hip joint kinematics. Although the rationale for arthroscopic acetabular rim trimming in patients with FAI is well established, the amount of rim resection has not been quantified, and the thresh...

The Rim-Driven Thruster (RDT) is an extraordinary innovation in marine propulsion applications. structure of RDT resembles a Ducted Propeller (DP), as both contain several propeller blades and duct shroud. However, unlike the DP, there no tip clearance directly connected to rim. Instead, gap exists between rim duct. distinctive difference DP causes significant discrepancy performance flow featu...
